With all the talk about Trump's Twitter shenanigans -- causing stocks to plummet and wrecking the lives of private citizens and all -- it's kind of fun to imagine what other presidents would have been like on Twitter if the service were around during their time. It's easy to imagine Jimmy Carter giving kindly, grandfatherly advice about peanuts. Kennedy would have been a good candidate to accidentally fire off a dick pic. Andrew Jackson, widely known for being a huge prick, would have definitely given Trump a run for his money as the first president to potentially be banned from Twitter. Good times!
